Creative Ways To Use Gift Wrap (For More Than Presents)

RememberÂ all theÂ excitementÂ andÂ fervor you had on your birthdays as a kid, using all your strength to destroy the careful wrapping work of adults? Then using theÂ remnantsÂ as costumeÂ materialÂ or ribbon to choke your siblings? Now that we’re older and have to practice restraint when it’s time to open gifts (either to impress the in-laws with our self control skills or because we have lost sight of all things fun), the wrapping paper ends up perfectly folded and sitting in the closet.
